Welcome Kristen. I also have only one lesion, and it's in the brainstem. But my spinal tap was positive and I had enough symptoms that my neuro was confident enough to diagnose me as probable MS. I was started on Avonex right away and I am treated just like I have MS. Only difference is that I only have one lesion. and if I am treated with the same respect as one with a full diagnosis I hope I can always keep it probable because it means just the one lesion.

Kristin!

Kristinkristinkristin!

One big, warm, tight, hug, handshake and howdy, moose size welcome to the site. This place is amazing!

I got the MS 5 years ago and I've met people on the web who went a year or more before they got a concrete diagnosis. I was one of the lucky ones. It only took 3 months of tests and whatnot after that first episode.

After it yanked the wind from my sails, MS taught me many things including patience.

Just hang in there and keep posting here because;

You are not alone.
You are one of us.
And we are here to help.


I am the MonSter MS fears.
